I tried cancelling in the app and was taken to a link where the option to cancel was not available despite using the search option. I emailed BOM to cancel and was told via multiple emails that they could not find my account using my email, mailing address, or CC information. At this point I told them I would just go through my CC to get to a back credit to get my money back. The reply to that email was that they had magically found my account using a the email I had been using the entire time and were able to carry out my request. I understand it’s a business but cancelling any subscription should not be a difficult process. I lost trust in BOM after this. It feels scammy, a process designed to string customers along in order to continue to charge them.

I love BOTM! It's the one subscription I won't give up. It keeps me engaged with reading and I read books I wouldn't normally pick out if I was just browsing a store.

The company has good book choices and it ships fast

The monthly selections are usually great. Lately they've been pretty disappointing. I've been a member for quite a number of years and I wish we were able to pick ANY book we want if we choose to skip a month (not just a member fave because I usually have all of them or the genre available isn't my taste in books.) It's a great service and a good price but I wish we had more control over our picks. Several times I've considered canceling my subscription and just buying elsewhere because I know I'm can get exactly what I want and I'm not forced to skip or read something I know I won't be interested in.

I love the different types of books and selection

Love BOTM due to the variety in different genres. They very much want you to try new things so when you don’t enjoy it they refund you and you get to keep the book.

I joined because there was a book I was interested in. There haven’t been many new books I am interested in. I would like to use my credits for other books besides the new monthly ones. I am cancelling after my third month because of this.

I’m a classical French literature major, and I needed to explore beyond the classics but had no idea where to start. I detest poor writing, and I was recommended this platform, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it ever since. I even discovered a genre I love that I wouldn’t have known about if it hadn’t been for Book of the Month.
